Music, Virtual Reality for Patients in IUGM

To determine if investigator is able to recruit 80 patients in 6 months, with a consent rate of 80% or more and less than 20% of withdrawal

To quantify and compare variations in Visual Analog Mood Scales (VAMS) score between the intervention group (listening to and watching musicians with VR headphones) and the control group (listening to music with headphones).

This scale examines 8 emotions represented by ideogrammatic icons. It contains 2 positive emotions (happy and energetic) and 6 negative emotions (scared, confused, sad, angry, tired, tense). Each emotion is linked to a neutral face by a line. Participants will be asked to place a mark on the line at the point that represents the intensity of the emotion they are feeling. The distance in millimetres from the neutral face corresponds to the score (e.g., the further away from the neutral face, the greater the emotion). A higher positive emotion score means the participant feels better, and a higher negative emotion score means the patient feels worse.

To quantify and compare variations in scores on Positive and negative Affect schedule (PANAS) between the intervention group (listening to and watching musicians with VR headphones) and the control group (listening to music with headphones).

This positive and negative affectivity scale is a questionnaire designed to measure the valence and activation (i.e. intensity) of a person's affects. It comprises two scales. The first measures positive affect, the second negative affect. Each scale comprises 10 items, for a total of 20. Scores range from 10 to 50 for the negative affect score and from 10 to 50 for the positive affect score, respectively, with a low score representing the lowest levels of negative affect, and a high score representing high levels of positive affect. A high negative affect score reveals psychological distress involving a variety of unpleasant emotions, while a low score reflects calm and serenity.

To quantify and compare variations in scores on Warwick Edinburgh mental well-being scale measuring well-being between the intervention group (listening to and watching musicians with VR headphones) and the control group (listening to music with headphones).

This scale is made up of 14 positively worded items and produces scores ranging from 14 (i.e. no well-being) to 70 (i.e. complete well-being).

To quantify and compare variations in scores on Eq-5D scale measuring quality of life between the intervention group (listening to and watching musicians with VR headphones) and the control group (listening to music with headphones).

This test is a standardized measure of health status developed by the EuroQol group to provide a simple, generic measure of health for clinical and economic evaluation. It provides a simple descriptive profile and a single index value for health status. The EQ-5D consists of two parts: (1) a five-question questionnaire with a score per question ranging from 1 (i.e. no problem) to 5 (i.e. a more serious problem), (2) and a visual analog scale indicating how good or bad the participant's health is. This scale is numbered from 0 (i.e. the worst health the participant can imagine) to 100 (i.e. the best health the participant can imagine).

To quantify and compare variations in scores on General Anxiety Disorder - 7 scale measuring anxiety between the intervention group (listening to and watching musicians with VR headphones) and the control group (listening to music with headphones).

This is a 7-item scale (each item is rated on a Likert scale ranging from "not at all" to "almost every day"). The maximum score is 21, and the higher the score, the greater the anxiety.
